Notes: 2013 and 2014 revenue sources from the Legislative budget, approved April 2012, but federal funds have been adjusted for anticipated GARVEE bonds approved and related to the Louisville Bridges project. Expenditures for 2013 and 2014 are based on the recommended budget for the same time period. Louisville Bridges construction information reflects spending from budget sources and does not include revenues/expenditures related to toll financing for the project. Road fund estimates for 2015 and 2016 from the State Budget Office. Expenditures for 2015 and 2016 are expected to be in line with historical increases. Highway construction expected to be static based on KYTC 2012 Recommended Highway Plan and the budget.

• KYTC revenues have averaged $2.72 billion between 2006-2012.
• KYTC revenues will return to modest growth after a drop in 2013 due to an increase in Road Fund collections.
• The revenue bump in 2010 is due to ARRA/stimulus, while the bump in 2012 is due to $400 million in bonds for construction work.
• Revenues from the Road Fund are constitutionally protected and returning to pre-recession levels.

The majority of Transportation Cabinet revenues come from user fees deposited in the Road Fund.

Average KYTC Revenue Sources 2006-2012
• Road Funds are receipts from motor vehicle usage tax, vehicle and boat registration, motor vehicle operator’s licenses, motor fuels tax, tolls and interest. Road Funds are used for road construction, maintenance, operations, engineering, planning and research.
• Highway Bonds were used to fund Economic Development Road Projects.
• General Funds are collections of taxes on sales and usage, income, corporations, coal severance, property and lottery receipts.
• Restricted Funds are monies received from fees, sales, bond proceeds, licenses, investment income and other miscellaneous receipts. Restricted funds are used to fund the respective program for which the revenue is received.
• Federal Funds are derived from federal grants, contracts, income from investments, and other miscellaneous federal receipts received by state agencies.

• KYTC expenditures have averaged $2.7 billion between 2006-2012, similar to revenues.
• KYTC expenditures will return to modest growth in line with revenue collections.
• The expenditure bump in 2010 is due to ARRA/stimulus spend out, and the bump in 2012 is due to spending on mega-projects and bond revenue.
• Overall expenditures are expected to increase modestly in all spending areas with increased Road Fund revenues.

KYTC Total Transportation Expenditures
• KYTC 2012 expenditures total $2.96 billion.
• Construction and Capital Outlay expenditures account for 62.26% of this budget.

Innovative Financing • KYTC has authorized public-private partnerships (PPP), but has not initiated a PPP project as of
yet. • The KYTC has also used:
– GARVEE bonds – Build America Bonds – Design-Build
– Authorized in statute.
– Weight-distance tax – Advance construction – Toll credits or “soft match”
– As a result of the 2005 and 2006 Kentucky legislative sessions, the KYTC was provided with enabling legislation and approval to pursue a specific group of interstate widening projects using $440 million in GARVEE bonds: – I-65: Widen to six lanes from the Tennessee State line to Bowling Green ($212 million). – I-75: Widen to six lanes from the end of the current six-lane section in northern Scott County to the current six-
lane section south of KY22 in Grant County ($199 million). – I-64: Widen to six lanes from the Snyder Freeway in Jefferson County toward Shelbyville in Shelby County ($45
million).
– The KYTC has worked with the FHWA to develop a “GARVEE package” that leverages Kentucky’s federal highway program and accelerates the development and construction of key projects across the state. Kentucky's strategic use of the GARVEE program has resulted in almost $1.1 billion in GARVEE-supported projects completed or underway since the first authorization in 2005.
– An upcoming project utilizing innovative financing is the Ohio River Bridges Project (Louisville Bridge Project), expected to begin construction by the end of 2012.

Note: Historical construction expenditures are from the construction expenditures line item of the Construction program in the KYTC Highway Office. These do not include spending on personnel, operations or debt service. Construction expenditures for 2013 and 2014 are from the proposed budget. KYTC expects to try and sustain their current $1 billion contract program which is consistent with expenditure levels in 2013 and 2014. Louisville Bridges expenditures are only for anticipated outlays that are using federal revenues and state sources. It does not include project outlays financed by toll revenues.

• KYTC contracts all types of professional services as needed, including design work. Allocation is based on personnel assigned to a project, staff resources and expertise, as well as the current workload and capacity of in-house engineers.
• In order to respond to KYTC advertisements, firms must be prequalified in the specified areas before the project advertisement appears in a Procurement Bulletin on the KYTC website. KYTC does not use the GEC category for consultants, rather the following prequalification areas:
• Prequalification must be renewed annually. A list of all prequalified firms is posted on the KYTC website, and is updated frequently.
– As of June 19, 2012, 14% of prequalified firms are classified as DBE.
• Consultants are selected through a noncompetitive process. Professional service contracts for engineering and engineering-related services are negotiated based on demonstrated competence and qualification for services required at fair and reasonable prices. Professional service contracts or their modifications must be submitted to the Legislative Research Commission Government Contract Review Committee for examination and approval before they can be awarded. KYTC uses the following methods in contracting for professional services: 1) lump sum, 2) cost plus a fixed fee, 3) specific rates of compensation and 4) cost per unit of work.
• While Kentucky State Law does not currently allow for KYTC to contract with design-build or other alternative procurement methods, legislative permission has been granted by previous legislatures though the budget process to allow for some design-build projects by KYTC.
• As a result of Kentucky legislation passed in April, the Ohio River Bridges design-build project is expected to begin construction by the end of this year.
• Archived results of consultant projects can be found on KYTC’s website.
